Influxdb not installing properly

Installing Mycodo onto raspberry pi zero. Using 32bit OS. Everything loads without error until the end of the installation when I get problems installing infuxdb. I can run Mycodo at the end of the installation and even add inputs. However I am unable to get any readings from any of the inputs (CO2 monitor and temp/humidity sensors) which I am assuming is due to the data base not working.
I have attempted 4 seperate installations with two different SD cards (16GB and 64GB) all with the same result.
I have looked for the data base to see if it exists but can’t find it (basically cause I don’t know were to look/it is stored).
Checking the Mycodo Log I get this result:-

If I tick the logging within the input function I get from the mycodo log:-

So I am assuming that something is being logged somewhere but it is just not available were Mycodo expects it to be.

I will add the outputs of the installation log as well as any further info I can find, but if anyone has any pointers on what I am doing wrong it would be appreciated…

This is from the setup.log:-

Have you searched the github issues for ā€œPi zero Could not connect to InfluxDBā€?

Thanks Kyle, despite numerous searches I was previously not able to find any help (I thought discord was the place to look, not github) but with your pointer on what to search for I have managed to get the database up and running so far. Thank you for your help and time…
